Key Drivers and Challenges in Phenol Derivatives Market

• The phenol derivatives market is composed of a wide range of highly-used compounds, including salicylic, nitro, bisphenol A, alkyl,
  bakelite, and hydroxyl. With huge applications in compact discs, coatings paints, detergents, antiseptics, electrical appliances, lotions, cream, bactericides, pesticides, and pacemaker, etc., the phenol derivatives are likely to witness huge demand form end-user industries, including pharmaceutical, electronics, healthcare devices, and personal care.
• The degradation of phenol derivatives is not only a daunting task for manufacturers as compared to other derivatives, but is also hazardous for human beings. Being highly toxic in nature, phenol derivatives usage is prohibited in many parts of the world, which is likely to hinder the growth of phenol derivatives market.
• Excessive use of phenol derivatives can cause breathing issues, may lead to fever, nausea, headache, vomiting, sever pain, swelling, irritation and redness around the mouth. With the growing number of people gaining awareness about ill effects of phenol derivatives, the compound is expected to be ditched, further hindering the growth of phenol derivatives market.

Trends and Opportunities

• Manufacturers of phenol derivatives continue to focus on eco-friendly and highly sustainable products, owing to the growing inclination of the consumers towards environment-friendly solutions. In the forthcoming years, the bio-based derivatives are likely to gain prominence among the end use consumers.
• The leading manufacturers of phenol derivatives have been increasingly focusing on strategic approaches and are adopting diverse organic and inorganic growth strategies, including acquisitions, agreements, and expansions, to hold highest possible shares of phenol derivatives.
• The rapidly increasingly global competitive landscape is hard pressing the chemical companies to incorporate innovation in their products, and to focus on the development of Green Chemistry, which is becoming pivotal for the companies for their holistic development and growth.

Extensively Used Phenol Derivative Bisphenol –A Expected to Trigger Phenol Derivatives Market

Bisphenol-A is a widely used phenol derivative, commonly adopted to produce polycarbonates and epoxy resins. Polycarbonate has huge applications in drink and food packaging industries, like in manufacturing impact-resistant safety equipment, medical instruments, water and baby bottles, and compact discs, etc. Additionally, epoxy resins are highly used by manufacturers to coat metal products, including bottle tops, water supply pipes, and food cans. Bisphenol-A, a widely used derivative of phenol, is also found in numerous thermal paper products, such as ATM receipts and cash register. Thus, phenol derivatives market is anticipated to grow on the back of extensive uses of Phenol derivatives, like Bisphenol- A.
